And in keeping with Glasgow's tag of the 'UK's most-friendly vegan city', there are an impressive 16 vegan and 33 vegetarian dishes on the menu.

What did you have then?

You can't go to YO! without getting the classics - and an 'unlimited' miso soup is the only way to start. A light and healthy shiro miso broth with wakame, spring onion and tofu certainly gets the tastebuds going.

Next, I tried seared beef rolls, which are new to the menu. The radish, cucumber and quick-pickled onion wrapped in seared beef with shichimi powder were a delight and you could tell that the ingredients were fresh.

The katsu curry is a personal favourite and it never fails to deliver. Hot strips of breaded chicken smothered in a delicious curry sauce and served with rice is the perfect 'main' dish.

As a side to my main dish, I tried furikake fries, another addition to the menu. The Japanese-style fries are coated in sriracha mayo and sprinkled with yuzu furikake, sesame, aonori and smoky bonito flakes.

They have a slight kick to them, but not enough to burn your mouth off and leave you reaching for the water tap. It was another new dish which proved to be a winner.

Elsewhere, designs carrying distinct Japanese references include a stunning Origami-inspired ceiling as well.

A new 'To Go menu' across both hot and cold dishes is also available.

What was the service like?

YO! is hugely popular, which means you might have to wait a few minutes to be seated. However, the staff are more than happy to accommodate you while you wait. Of course, if it's your first time at YO!, staff will talk you through how it all works.
